Abstract [en]

Although research finds that place-based crime prevention and hot-spot policing have been efficient in reducing crime and disorder, questions remain of what places should get attention (and who should decide this). Citizens’ perceptions of dangerous or problem places might align with police knowledge and experiences. On top of that, when crime analysis is employed, some other places might appear as hot spots. To answer these questions, the current study uses three different sources to map hot spots in Kristianstad/one South-Swedish municipality. First are community surveys where citizens have marked “fearful and dangerous” locations. The next source is police-determined hot spots based on municipal meetings and prior police knowledge and analysis. The third source is applied data analysis of outdoor crime. Similarities and differences in hot spots identified by different sources will be discussed.
